The explorer (for Windows 7). Where can I download a simple white or transparent version. I don't care whether or not it has the Ribbon UI in it. I just want an explorer with the *EXACT* windows control buttons. Thanks!

I think you should put the search button in a more consistent place, like the edge of the window or the beginning of the addressbar, since everytime I change my location in the file system, the search button also changes location.

Yes it will. I gave this alot of thought. But then again the search button corresponds to the folder that is open. So this way it gives a design que that pressing the search button will search this folder! But i get your feedback i did think over it.

Well it does. This is based on Office 15 leaked screenshots. Have you seen them? Take a look at them @ the Verge www.theverge.com I based these totally on those. To show ppl how the explorer can look like if MS brings that UI to Explorer. I hope they get rid of Aero.

I think it would be nice if the search bar only appeared there if you activiated it--Ribbon UI is already fairly space-consuming. I'm assuming you put this into Office rather than having the 'Open/Save As' popup window, right? Because I like the idea.

actually the addressbar design is totally my work (in the sense its my idea) To have a search button that changes the address into a text input box. This allows us to remove the search box. Allowing more space for address of the folder in view.
